Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

"This obviously won't work! Breaking through the bottleneck of the Spiritual Transformation is by no means easy. Perhaps this unstable state is exactly what Senior Brother Hanli expects, hoping to use this power to break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop. If we act rashly, it may backfire. It's better to wait and see."

Bai Mengxin replied in a cold tone.

After hearing this, Yan Yun smiled and nodded slightly, without expressing any objection. The other people present looked at each other and chose to keep silent.

In fact, even if they are unwilling to recruit players, it is probably beyond their ability at this time.

After two consecutive days of controlling the extremely cold flame all night long, everyone felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and their spirit and magic power had been greatly depleted.

Now, they can only watch Master Hanli face the final challenge alone.

However, no one noticed that the blue light deep in Yan Yun's eyes was always flickering, and he could see the flow of mana in Master Hanli's body and the various changes of his Nascent Soul in an extremely clear way and recorded them silently.

Such valuable experience will surely bring great benefits to his future path of practice as long as there is enough time to verify it in the future.

Just for this reason, Yan Yun deeply felt that the decision to risk his life and stay to watch Master Hanli break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage was worth it.

After all, such an opportunity is rare, and he is lucky to have the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes.

Although the other companions could also use their spiritual sense to forcibly investigate part of the situation, compared with the information Yan Yun obtained with the help of Ming Qing's spiritual eyes, both the clarity and comprehensiveness were much inferior, and the effect was naturally incomparable.

As time went by, before I knew it, quite a long time had passed.

Suddenly, the body of Master Hanli, who was sitting cross-legged in the milky white light lotus, shook violently. The strange fragrance emanating from his body instantly became several times stronger. At the same time, the light lotus mark between his brows suddenly enlarged and turned into pieces of lotus images, fully blooming.

Yan Yun and others who were originally sitting quietly were immediately startled by this sudden situation, and they all stared at the scene in front of them with full concentration.

I saw that Master Hanli, who had been sitting quietly in the same place, had opened his eyes, and his eyeballs were emitting a dazzling light like red gold.

At the same time, without moving his hands or lifting his feet, his body slowly rose from the light lotus as if it had no weight at all.

Master Hanli looked around, a look of joy on his face. After a slight hesitation, he stretched out a hand, and his fingertips trembled slightly, as if he was performing some mysterious spell.

Almost at the same time, Yan Yun felt that the remaining spiritual power in his body suddenly fluctuated, and then began to surge wildly, as if there was a strong urge that was about to break through the restraints and pour out.

Yan Yun was greatly surprised, and without hesitation, he quickly practiced his skills several times, and only then was he able to control the out-of-control of the spiritual power in his body and suppress it temporarily.

The old woman and the middle-aged man in blue shirt also had their faces changed drastically, and they were also frantically dealing with this sudden change.

Obviously, this strange phenomenon is not limited to him.

Yan Yun's eyes flickered, and he didn't have time to figure out what had happened.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from several surrounding magic arrays at the same time, and the nearby light curtain vibrated violently. Countless brilliant rays of light gushed out from above and drifted straight into the interior of the magic array.

Once those flickering spiritual lights touched Master Hanli's body, they immediately disappeared without a trace. After only a short moment, the light curtain began to show signs of collapse, and the light haze pouring in from the outside of the magic circle gradually turned milky white and instantly became denser.

"The vitality of heaven and earth has been triggered!" Someone whispered to himself, his tone full of awe, envy, and even a hint of jealousy. Yan Yun's heart tightened when he heard this.

At this moment, Master Hanli's body was like an unfathomable black hole. No matter how much cold power was injected into it, except for the golden light in his eyes becoming brighter and the light between his eyebrows becoming more brilliant, no other abnormal phenomena occurred. This strange scene lasted for a whole cup of tea, and then a crisp explosion sound came from Master Hanli's body. His figure, sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly expanded several inches upwards.

At the same time, the light lotus between his brows expanded rapidly, almost covering his entire head, and then shrank in an instant, finally turning into a thumb-sized existence, crystal clear and embedded in the center of his brows. The light haze that was constantly pouring in from all around suddenly stagnated, and then dissipated into nothingness.

The spiritual fluctuations in Yan Yun and the others also disappeared, returning to normal. Master Hanli made seals with his hands with a serious expression, slowly closed his eyes, and the six-colored lotus between his eyebrows gradually faded and returned to calm.

"Has he successfully broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm?" Seeing the scene before their eyes, everyone present couldn't help but think so. The faces of the middle-aged man in green and Bai Mengxin showed an unconcealable joy.

However, just as one of them was about to ask, Master Hanli suddenly uttered a dull groan. Then, without warning, his face twisted and deformed, and his hands, which were originally in seals, immediately hugged his head tightly, as if he was in great pain.

This sudden change once again shocked Yan Yun and the others. "Senior Brother Hanli, what happened?" The middle-aged man in green shirt shouted anxiously, but he didn't dare to step forward rashly.

When Master Hanli heard the exclamation, he raised his head with difficulty and looked at the middle-aged man in green shirt, but before he could say anything, the light lotus between his brows, which seemed to have stabilized, flickered wildly again and actually fell off the next moment.

Then the light lotus expanded and contracted, and with a light "bang" sound, it exploded and turned into a six-colored spiritual ball that shone brightly. Master Hanli screamed miserably, and after shaking a few times, he fell from mid-air and landed right in the milky white light lotus below. His body curled up into a ball and trembled continuously.

"Great Elder!" At this moment, Bai Mengxin could no longer remain calm. After greeting the middle-aged man in green shirt, the two of them turned into two streaks of black and white light and rushed straight to where the light lotus was.

Yan Yun, Li Mengyao and Zhao Tianming looked at each other, but did not follow them to fly over.

"I'm fine, but I suffered a backlash from the vitality of heaven and earth, and was only slightly injured." To the surprise of everyone present, Master Hanli, who had been knocked into the light lotus, actually turned over at the critical moment and sat cross-legged in it again. He spoke with a face as pale as paper, and the painful expression on his face seemed to have eased.

Bai Mengxin and the middle-aged man in green shirt, who had already flown close, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and immediately stopped above the light lotus. Just as they were about to ask about the situation in detail, Master Hanli hurriedly said something, then quickly flipped his palm, and a pile of previously used silver short blades suddenly appeared in his hand. Then he waved his palm, and with a flash of silver light, sixteen short blades shot out in unison.

However, as soon as these silver blades left his palms, they immediately began to spin, with the tips of the blades facing inward and floating around his body.

Then, Master Hanli let out a low cry, and sixteen short blades flashed at the same time, all deeply inserted into his flesh. Except for his head, only a short section of the handle was exposed from all parts of his body, and the blades were almost completely embedded in his body.

When Yan Yun saw the scene in front of him, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he stared straight ahead without moving his gaze at all.

At this moment, a layer of colorful light suddenly appeared on Master Hanli's body, mainly blue and white, but also mixed with other colors such as yellow and green.

"My fellow Taoists, please quickly retract your cold flames!" Master Hanli closed his eyes but shouted solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the monk silently chanted a Buddhist name, and then gently waved his hand towards Master Hanli in the air.

The green cold flame that emerged from Master Hanli's body turned into wisps of spiritual clouds, and in an instant they gathered into a small ball, and with a "whoosh", they rushed towards the monk.

The monk waved his sleeves and put his cold flame into his bag.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yun and others also cast spells to recall their own extreme cold flames.

After a short period of time, only a layer of blue dry blue ice flame remained on Master Hanli's body, and the strange fragrance emanating from his body also disappeared completely.

The great elder of Xiaoji Palace did not relax his expression. Instead, he formed a strange seal with his hands and chanted a mysterious spell. The silver blades all over his body began to tremble slightly.

After a low humming sound, a green and white interwoven chill slowly emerged along the hilts, instantly making all the silver knives crystal clear.

The incantation from Master Hanli's mouth suddenly stopped, and the seal in his hand suddenly changed.

"Bang" and "Bang" sounds rang out one after another, and dazzling silver light penetrated from the crystal blade. The ice layer on the surface gradually shattered, as if disappearing out of thin air.

However, soon after, the cold air emerged again along the silver blade and turned into layers of crystal ice. Then, driven by the seal, it continued to shatter and be reborn.

After repeating this several times, Yan Yun's mouth twitched slightly, and a sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

The great elder of Xiaoji Palace actually used the power of a magic weapon to forcibly expel the original black jade coldness in his body.

This shows that he indeed failed to successfully break through the bottleneck of the Spirit Transformation Stage. Otherwise, with the powerful strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage, these cold air reactions would undoubtedly become an excellent medicine to nourish the vital energy.

Yan Yun's thoughts raced through his mind, and he made his own decision in the blink of an eye.

A long sigh came out of Hanli Shang's mouth, and the great elder of Xiaoji Palace opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes once again showed a distinct black and white color, but his figure and appearance still maintained the appearance of more than 30 years old. He just looked up at the sky, and his face showed endless loneliness.

"Senior Brother Hanli, are you okay?" The middle-aged man in green shirt hesitated for a moment, but still asked in mid-air.

"It's okay, but it's still a failure in the end!" Master Hanli smiled bitterly and shook his head, then stood up. The light lotus under his feet suddenly broke and disintegrated, turning into countless tiny spiritual lights and dissipating into nothingness. Then, he landed lightly on the huge rock below.

“It’s such a pity! Fellow Daoist Hanli is obviously just a little lacking in spiritual awareness, otherwise he would have been able to advance successfully this time. In any case, the set of secret techniques created by fellow Daoist is indeed a feasible way to break through the realm of spiritual transformation.” The old woman sighed softly, expressing her high praise for Master Hanli’s secret techniques.

"Thank you for the compliment, Madam Long. Although this method is indeed effective, except for this good opportunity now, it may not be easy to gather so many practitioners with the Extreme Cold Flame again in the future." Master Hanli's complexion returned to normal, and he responded indifferently.

"That is true. In addition to the difficulty of finding fellow practitioners of the Extreme Cold Flame, one must also possess the Extreme Cold Flame oneself. And finding an extremely cold place like this Xuanyu Cave is indeed extremely difficult and dangerous. However, Fellow Daoist Hanli's approach still has many things worth learning from." The gray-robed monk agreed with a smile.

Hearing the monk's words, the corners of Hanli's mouth twitched slightly, and he just shook his head helplessly. Then, he stretched out his hands and stared at the smooth and elastic skin. The eyes of the elder of Xiaoji Palace flickered.

"Fellow Daoist Hanli, since the spell has come to an end, should we stop the operation of the magic circle and let us return to the stone house to recover our vitality?"

Yan Yun asked with a frown, while his eyes swept across the light curtain that reappeared around him.

"There is no need to rush about this matter. I still have other matters to deal with. It will not be too late to stop the magic circle after I have dealt with them."

When Master Hanli heard Yan Yun's words, he did not even raise his head and replied calmly.

The middle-aged man in green and Bai Mengxin looked at each other, and then floated above Master Hanli's head, expressionless and silent.

"Fellow Daoist Master, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing this, the monk naturally noticed something was wrong and his face suddenly darkened. Although the old woman did not say anything, a look of alertness appeared on her face. The hand hidden in her sleeves seemed to move, as if she was holding something tightly, and then she stared coldly at the three monks from the Xiaoji Palace opposite her.

"Don't panic, fellow Taoists. I have no ill intentions. I just hope that Brother Yan can return an item to my palace."

Master Hanli finally put down his hands, and then looked up at Yanyun. The sixteen silver blades on his body instantly made a buzzing sound, and then flew away in the opposite direction, and his eyes immediately shone with light, and faint golden light could be seen flashing.

"It actually seems to be a sign of complete recovery of mana!"

"Return the items?" The monk and the old woman couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Yan Yun, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

"Fellow Daoist, are you kidding me? This is my first visit to Xiaoji Palace. When have I ever borrowed anything from your palace?" Yan Yun slowly stood up and responded calmly. (End of this chapter)
